Starting in January of 1954, wringers used a standardized serial number scheme, with two letters after the production number. The First letter indicated the year, and the second the month.
Please note - this list DIFFERS from the automatic codes of 1949 - 1965. Year Code Month 1954 A January 1955 C February 1956 E March 1957 G April 1958 J May 1959 L June 1960 N July 1961 P August 1962 R September 1963 T October 1964 V November 1965 X December While this is all fine and dandy, I don't believe anyone has found what they did exactly in 1953, as the data that Mark provided above came from the Maytag Conventional Washers, Volume 2 booklet, which doesn't call out anything for 1953, at least not that I recall. If anyone owns this book, can you confirm? Starting in 1966, all wringers followed the automatic serial codes up until 1983. Unfortunately, the serial stamping of some of the 80's Model E2's is very faint and sometimes hard to read. Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK |
